Ye Xuan had lived in the United States for many years. At this time, he knew the wisest choice was to stay where he was and not move.
He was only glad that he was still wearing his pajamas to sleep. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if someone lifted the blankets …
Wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, the police barged into Ye Xuan's room and pointed a gun at his head as they lifted the blankets.
Under the blankets, Ye Xuan was lying on his side in his pajamas. There were no weapons in sight.
The police sighed in relief and said loudly to Ye Xuan, "You have the right to remain silent. Otherwise, everything you say will be used as evidence in court. You have the right to the assistance of a lawyer. If you can't afford a lawyer, the court will appoint a free lawyer for you. "
Ye Xuan still didn't move. He knew that not only did he have to remain silent, but he also had to remain stiff.
If he moved, he could be shot in the head.
The police saw that he was sensible and didn't make things difficult for him.
One of them came up to handcuff him before letting him get up from the bed.
Putting on his shoes, Ye Xuan looked up at the police who had rushed into his room. "May I ask what crime I committed? Why am I being treated like this? "
The police officer was still pointing his gun at him as he said expressionlessly, "You are suspected of murdering Mr. Vanderbilt's entire family. Now, you will come with us and wait for your lawyer to come to the police station for questioning."
Ye Xuan's heart sank.
Mr. Vanderbilt's entire family was dead?!
At this time, he finally understood that Gu Yanran didn't have any feelings for him at all.
All these years of companionship meant nothing to Gu Yanran.
He was her partner in bed, literally her partner in bed.
Now, she wanted him dead.
Not only did this trap have to get rid of him, but it also had to get rid of the lawyer.
That meant that the lawyer was indeed Uncle Gu's lawyer …
It was all his fault. He was the one who brought death to Mr. Vanderbilt's family.
Ye Xuan's expression instantly turned ugly. Looking down, he took a deep breath and suppressed the sobs in his throat. "I want to call my lawyer."
"Go ahead." The police officer raised his gun. "Where's your phone?"
Ye Xuan pointed under his pillow.
A police officer took out his phone from under his pillow and placed it in Ye Xuan's hand.
Ye Xuan rubbed his phone and opened his contact list. When he saw the lawyer's number, he thought of Gu Yanran.
At that moment, he could no longer trust Gu Yanran.
This lawyer had a close relationship with Gu Yanran. Gu Yanran had introduced him to Huo Shaoheng.
The moment he hired this lawyer, he would be placing his life in the hands of Gu Yanran, a woman who wanted him dead no matter what.
Ye Xuan thought about it for a while and decided to find another lawyer.
He searched the Internet for a while and found the closest lawyer who charged the highest fees to be his lawyer.
Ye Xuan's case was the one with the highest exposure in the area, so the lawyer immediately agreed when he received Ye Xuan's call and hurriedly drove to the hotel.
As soon as the lawyer arrived, he grumbled to the police about Ye Xuan's rights and then expressed that he wanted to bail him out.
The police did not comment and said that they would take him back to the police station first.
This was normal working procedure. The lawyer also followed Ye Xuan.
Armed police officers left the hotel with a hooded man, and it soon became clear that this was connected to the arson at Mr. Vanderbilt's house.
The Special Operations Forces field agent quickly sent a message back home.
…
When Huo Shaoheng received the news, it happened to be past eight at night back home.
"What? That lawyer's entire family was killed? Then the local police said that Ye Xuan is the suspect? "Huo Shaoheng frowned as he looked at the emergency report his subordinate submitted.
He stood behind his desk and leaned forward. Clenching his fists on the desk, he stared at the report for a long time before replying in a low voice, "What is real is fake, and what is fake is real. This is killing two birds with one stone. Not bad. "
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong both stood across from him, their expressions very serious.
Zhao Liangze said, "I've already translated the secret report from the field agent. Did you see it?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I saw it. Go do what you need to do. I'll discuss it with Big Xiong."
Zhao Liangze was also responsible for summarizing the large-scale intelligence of the German Federal Intelligence Service. He was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to rest. He immediately saluted and left.
Yin Shixiong asked Huo Shaoheng worriedly, "Huo Shao, does this mean that the lawyer is real? Gu Yanran didn't lie this time? "
This woman was too cunning. She lied too much. Even when she told the truth once in a while, people would treat it as a lie.
It was impossible to guard against.
Huo Shaoheng thought so too, but he wouldn't shirk his responsibility because of that.
"From the looks of it, it should be true." Huo Shaoheng stood up straight. "It's not that she's cunning. It's that the person behind her is an expert at manipulating people's hearts. Not only is he an expert, but he also has a lot of ability to mobilize people. "
Huo Shaoheng turned on the wall-mounted TV in the office. "Look, this is the American TV news report on this case."
Yin Shixiong turned to look at the TV screen and saw a small town with green hills and clear waters hidden in the midst of a pale yellow mountain range.
As the TV news footage changed, Huo Shaoheng picked up the laser pointer and drew a circle around the burned house. "Look, such a big house was burned down in one night without anyone knowing. Not a single person inside escaped, and then they conveniently framed Ye Xuan. This case looks very difficult to believe that it was done by one person. "
"You're saying that someone bribed the local mafia to do this?" Yin Shixiong immediately looked down to search for information. "Do we have information on the American mafia in Utah?"
Huo Shaoheng leaned against the desk and crossed his arms. His legs stretched out lazily in front of him. He thought about it and said, "It might not be the local mafia. If you've paid attention to the problem of illegal immigrants in the United States, you'll know that the Americans are hiring these illegal immigrants from South America to commit crimes for only $500 per life. "
Yin Shixiong was speechless.
"You're saying that this case was done by a local illegal immigrant in the United States who was bribed?"
"It's only a possibility. Of course, it could also be the local mafia. " Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Since it's just a guess, we should still consider all kinds of situations."
He returned to the desk and sat down. Without looking up, he said to Yin Shixiong, "Go see Qiqi and leak this to Nianzhi while you're at it."
Yin Shixiong was speechless.
He knew the importance of this matter and immediately agreed. He turned around to pack his things and prepared to go to B University to find Ma Qiqi.
Ma Qiqi received a call from Yin Shixiong saying that he was coming to see her and would take her and Gu Nianzhi to dinner. He asked if they were free.
Ma Qiqi replied happily, "Yes, yes!"
Ma Qiqi quickly arranged a place to eat with Yin Shixiong and went next door to find Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, Nianzhi, Brother Xiong is coming to treat us to dinner. Can you go?!"
Gu Nianzhi happened to be free that day. Although she hadn't finished her thesis, she was exhausted from the past few days and wanted to rest.
She would be going to court for the second time tomorrow, so she needed to relax.
Just like many students who would play like crazy before a big exam, Gu Nianzhi also wanted to release some stress.
She agreed immediately and immediately went to shower, apply a facial mask, and change her clothes.
After a while, it was time for Yin Shixiong to pick them up.
Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi got into Yin Shixiong's car. She consciously sat in the back seat while Ma Qiqi sat in the front passenger seat.
Yin Shixiong turned around to look at her and smiled. "Nianzhi, you're not busy today?"
"I have to go to court tomorrow, so I can relax today." Gu Nianzhi said nonchalantly and started playing games on her phone. "You two chat. Just pretend I don't exist."
Ma Qiqi blushed and pretended to cough. "Nianzhi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
She turned around and happily chatted with Yin Shixiong.
Although Yin Shixiong also thought it was funny, he liked listening to Ma Qiqi talk, so he also chatted with her.
The two of them echoed each other, and the car suddenly became lively.
Gu Nianzhi wished she could put on headphones to calm her ears for a while.
Fortunately, they arrived at Yin Shixiong's restaurant not long after.
It was a private restaurant of the Tan family, so normal people couldn't make reservations.
Yin Shixiong had booked it under Huo Shaoheng's name.
He had planned to eat there with more privacy, so it would be easier to talk.
Unfortunately, as soon as they walked in, they realized things didn't go as planned.
Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi were actually eating there as well.
